[Verse 1]
I'm gonna tell you a story 'bout Mary Lou
You know the kind of woman make a fool of you
She make a young man itch, she make an old man faint
The way she took my money was a cryin' shame

[Chorus]
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
Mary Lou
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my kitty, drove off far

[Verse 2]
Left me stranded in Kalamazoo
Makin' her fortune off a fool like you
She married a rich man, had a dozen kids
Drove that cat until he flipped his lid

[Chorus]
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took everything
Mary Lou
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my kitty, drove off far
[Verse 3]
Come back into town about a week ago
Told me she was sorry that she hurt me so
I had a fifty-five Ford and a two dollar bill
The way she looked at that man gave me a chill

[Chorus]
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
Took my diamond ring
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took my watch and chain
Mary Lou
She took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my kitty, drove off far
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took my diamond ring
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
She took everything
Mary Lou
Took the keys to my Cadillac car
Jumped in my kitty, drove off far

[Outro]
Ah, drove off far
Drove off far
Drove off far
Oh, kept on driving that car
She took everything I had, stuck it in that car
Yeah, jumped in my kitty, drove off far
